A 12-year-old boy who was shot in Connecticut Wednesday night was shot because he was throwing snowballs at cars, according to police. Officers responded to the area of Capitol Avenue and Park Terrace in Hartford around 7:15 p.

Relatives of an 8-year-old boy and his mother who were murdered by a Connecticut drug gang are outraged that a man convicted in the killings was one of nearly 2,500 people whose drug-related prison sentences were commuted by former President Joe Biden in his last days in office.

Bridgeport Mayor Ganim called it a ‘terrible miscarriage of justice.’ He’s right too,” state Senate Minority Leader Stephen Harding, R-Brookfield, said.
